“The Azeri side is ready to negotiate with the Armenian community of
the Nagorno Karabakh only if they recognize themselves as citizens
of Azerbaijan”, the Azeri Foreign Minister Elmar Mamedyarov announced
today.
According to the latter, the negotiations with the Armenian community
of Nagorno Karabakh will be possible if Armenia withdraws from
the negotiation process and the Armenians of Karabakh accept the
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. “But I am afraid Armenia does
not want Azerbaijan to directly negotiate with the Armenian community
of Karabakh”, Mamedyarov said.
The Azeri Foreign Minister also mentioned that if there is not progress
in the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Azerbaijan
will liberate its territories by force, “Regnum” agency reports.
